Kranji Commonwealth War Cemetery
The entrance leading up to the Kranji Commonwealth War Cemetery are flanked by 2 small stone shelters and along the way there are a lot of small sets of steps up. Not that wheelchair friendly I must say.
The left side shelter contains a register so that one can look up for a particular person who is interred. For the life of me I cannot fathom why brochures about the Kranji countryside are found on the lower left side of the register. Some cross promotion idea??? Seems out of place to me...
The right side shelter is the rest area with seats for people to rest in the shade away from the sun.
As you can see below the cemetery flanks the sides and back of the Kranji War Memorial. Looking at the rows of immaculately maintained headstones, one can sense history on these hallowed grounds.
Here is a view taken from the other end of the cemetery. You can see that there is a gentle slope all the way up to the memorial and it has a very dignified and serene when looking backwards. The left and the right side of the cemetery is another story unfortunately as there is some construction going on (this is common feature and sight in Singapore!).
